Predator Free NZ Bundle | Native Wildlife & Pests

The Predator Free NZ Bundle is a ready-to-teach unit for Years 5 to 8 that helps tamariki understand why Aotearoa's native wildlife is so special, and why predator control matters. It blends science, reading and writing into one cohesive unit that is easy to pick up and run. Students explore how introduced predators like rats, stoats and possums have affected our native birds, why our manu are so vulnerable, and what people and communities are doing to help. The lessons are scaffolded so understanding builds slide by slide, and the follow-up activities give students hands-on ways to consolidate what they have learned. Everything is digital, printable and editable, so you can use it on screen, print it out, or adjust it to suit your class. It works beautifully as a standalone science unit, an environmental inquiry, or a meaningful tie-in for Conservation Week, Matariki or any kaitiakitanga focus. It is the kind of unit that gets students genuinely talking. They come away understanding why predator control matters, and feeling like kaitiaki of the wildlife on their own doorstep. Made with aroha in Aotearoa.
